Vasil Rodideal

Vasil Rodideal is a 63-year-old Romanian citizen who recently made headlines after being arrested in Moscow, where he had been living under a false identity. Rodideal has a criminal history that includes a conviction for leading an organized crime group in Romania, illegal possession of military-grade ammunition, incitement to murder, and involvement in counterfeiting. He was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison but disappeared from law enforcement's radar in 2009 after allegedly fleeing to Russia. His arrest follows an international alert from Interpol, as he was one of Romania's most wanted criminals.
